Description

These baked black bean burgers with quinoa are high in fiber and plant protein, perfect for weeknight dinners and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup dry quinoa
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs (or panko)
  • 1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup roasted red bell peppers, finely diced (optional)
  • 1/2 jalapeno, minced (optional)
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons onion, finely minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 good dash (about 1/8 teaspoon) red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Bring 1/4 cup quinoa and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan; reduce to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  3. Roughly mash the drained black beans in a large bowl, leaving some whole for texture.
  4. Add the cooked quinoa, bread crumbs, diced peppers, minced jalapeno, garlic, onion, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, hot sauce, and egg to the mashed beans; mix until evenly combined.
  5. Form the mixture into 5 equal patties and place them on the prepared sheet.
  6. Brush each patty lightly with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake another 8 to 10 minutes until edges are browned.
  7. Optionally, broil for 1 to 2 minutes after baking for a crisper exterior.
  8. Let patties rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chill patties for 10 to 15 minutes before baking for better structure. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
